    You can restore Catalog from 'copy 2' Catalog Backup when you have lost 'copy 1' .

    BTW inline copy(multiple copies) may not resolve your problem, as multiple copies does not process data transfer simultaneously in its internal operation. Data in buffer is processed in copy 1, then it is processed in copy 2 , so backup time will get worse than now.

    Please check Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide page 148 for more detail.
